SimulateSAS() not working when UAC is off   

In order to perform Ctrl+Alt+Del (CAD) on Vista systems, we obtained from 
Microsoft the SASlib and wrote a program that called SimulateSAS(). The 
program includes a manifest, is signed and placed under program files folder. 
Well, the program works perfectly if UAC is enabled, but when UAC is 
disabled, it does actually nothing... I mean, it doesn't work at all...  
Could you please advise us about how to detect if UAC is off, and especially 
how to generate CAD when UAC is off ?

Hi Vinothkumar,

Sorry for the delay, It has been a bit since I could have a look at
this.

To remove your error, you have to link your program with
securedesktopclient.lib and RpcRT4.lib.

The problem is that the program will not work on Windows 2000 as it
has not rpcrt4.dll. I am planning to move the code that calls
SimulateSAS() to a DLL and load it if the program is running on Vista.

The answer from Microsoft was 'a service can call SimulateSAS() with
no problems', so I am still looking for a solution...
